They have started again :-(

[spangley1812]

67/6 Troughton gone for 0

Its down to Ambrose and Woakes

[spangley1812]

69/7 Best gone for 2

[spangley1812]

93/8 Woakes has gone

A lead of 57

[cdbearsfan]

They need 9 runs, we need 8 wickets.

It's in the balance!

Now six runs required for Durham. I wish we hadn't bothered getting them out yesterday. They would probably have got to 600 before declaring and we would have had only about a session to survive to get a tedious draw.

Five to win. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[The Left Side]

Oh dear, still 2 outta 3 ain't bad.

[spangley1812]

Just back from Edgbaston where we made hard work of defeating the Foxes.......Bowling was very average and the 17 year old spinner looks like a good prospect. James Taylor for them played very well and looks quality. Our batting did well with everyone contributing. The new pavilion looks very good

[The Left Side]

Well played Warwick, what is the 17 year old spinner's name?

[Rotterdam]

Holmes.

[frank]

Good win for the Pears yesterday, the first of the season. In the previous 3 games we've lost from promising positions but this time we kept our nerve. Wish Villa could do the same.

[Dave Cooper please]

Holmes is about 20 not 17. We nicked him from Kent.

[The Left Side]

Scotland 31 for 2 off nearly ten overs, is it a bit of a dodgy wicket?

[spangley1812]

136/4 Off 30 overs............this could be close

[cdbearsfan]

Making hard work of this.
